Instagram API: applying branded effects to photos
Does the Instagram API allow you to apply their branded effects to photos? Or all you can do is use it to access sections of the site - the friends feed, for example.

Since upload'ить images cannot be processed, then, of course, the photos must be processed via API it won't work either:
At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:
Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos from within the app. However, in the future we may give whitelist access to individual apps on a case by case basis.
We want to fight spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources, it's harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All this being said, we're working on ways to ensure users have a consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.
